Children's activities

Whilst we are out of St Mary’s church for the major refurbishment, our family and young people’s events will look slightly different. We are moving to seasonal family events.

Once we have settled into our temporary church home we will be introducing an afternoon cafe style service from January. More details soon.

If you would like more details about our families work across The Pilgrim Parishes, please contact Revsuehurley@gmail.com

TOTS & CO takes place in St Mary’s Church, Stebbing on the first Sunday of every month from 3.30pm – 5pm.

This is aimed at children and their parents/ grandparents/carers. It is divided into 2 age groups, under 5’s and Children at Primary school.

It is a very relaxed, joyful and family-friendly time, including: rhymes, songs, stories and craft activities. The children then have a free-play session whilst the adults enjoy tea/coffee and homemade cake.

A simple sit-down tea is served for all the children.

Sunday Services

We have a dedicated corner at the back of church with sofas, small tables and chairs. There are lots of toys, books, activities and colouring materials available. We also have age-appropriate pouches for children to engage with containing books, crafts and toys.

All families are welcome.

During our services at The Friend’s meeting House, there will be toys and activities available for families to use. In addition, some Sundays there will be Bible stories and simple craft activities for a part of the service.
